Weight Loss Failures and Success: Part III

Neutrals

There are a host of diet pill name brands that fill the shelves at Wal-Mart and all of your local drugstores. Some appetite suppressants can be prescribed by your physician (and if you are seriously interested in taking an appetite suppressant I suggest you see your doctor). However, there are millions of people who have relied on non-prescription diet supplements in an effort to lose weight. On my many weight loss journeys, I too have taken non-prescription diet pills. The pills that I took are called Hydroxycut and are still available in stores today. Considering the fact that any type of drug can have severe effects on the body I knew it was important for me to take extreme caution while taking the pills. I took diet pills when I was trying to lose 15 pounds.…

Weight Watchers may be the right fit for you! So we can all agree that Jennifer Hudson looks amazing since she lost over 80 lbs. and has gone from a size 16 to a size 6. Weight Watchers was instrumental in J.Hud losing all of that weight. Now, like I have told you all before I have tried a lot of methods, lots of fat burners and yes, I have tried Weight Watcher’s too! I went to the meetings, I bought the books they sold, I counted my points, I weighed in, and I did everything my group leader and the Weight Watcher’s staff told me to do and it worked! I LOST WEIGHT!! I lost about thirty pounds on Weight Watchers going from a size 12 to a size…

Don’t Make Me Open a Jar of WHOOP ASH!!

Neutrals

by Wylie J. StokeshartThat’s right! You read the title correctly….Whoop Ash! The comical moniker for this wonderful moisturizing cream is quite apropos because it does just what the title says…Whoop Ash. It is an M*U*S*T for anyone who is serious about having great skin and can be used year round. The packaging is intriguing from the beginning. Its shiny black plastic jar has the hottest Pop Art meets comic strip-inspired label you’ve ever seen. However, the magic begins when the lid is removed and an amazing scent is released. It’s kind of like that fresh, yet opulent scent you get from expensive soap. They call it White Honey Mango & Shea Butter. I call it Magnificent! From what would seem an unforgivingly-rigid exterior, a generous dollop is produced as you…
